One hundred per cent doctor owned and operated, Noosa Radiology has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the Sunshine Coast community over the past 16 years and has grown to become the largest radiology clinic in the Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay region.
“Our mission is to provide the most comprehensive range of preventative, diagnostic, and procedural services to the Noosa community in one clinic,” Patient Liaison Manager, Katrina Kellett said.
“We combine access to state-of-the-art technology with experienced, dedicated, and highly skilled staff utilising the latest AI diagnostic platforms.”
Noosa Radiology’s Women’s Imaging Department is the only provider of a complete breast imaging service in one location on the Sunshine Coast.
We utilise the latest in breast imaging technology, including the Siemens MAMMOMAT B.brilliant 3D Mammography system with access to Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM), breast MRI, breast ultrasound, digital PET/CT, SPECT/CT and interventional procedures such as biopsies, FNAs, and lymphoscintigraphy.
“We have heavily invested in the most advanced breast imaging technology available. This provides our patients with the peace of mind of accuracy through the entire imaging journey – from screening and diagnosis to staging and surgical planning,” Dr Drew McMenamin, Managing Radiologist said.
“The survival rate for breast cancer is now over 95 per cent in our region, one of the highest in the country. A large reason for this is timely access to services including multimodality radiology and intervention, as well as local access to surgery, oncology, and radiation oncology. We collaborate with our medical and surgical colleagues in weekly MDT meetings to optimise outcomes for local breast cancer patients. We also provide education sessions on the latest advances in breast imaging to our referrers each October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”
Noosa Radiology’s Siemens MAMMOMAT B.brilliant system offers exceptional image quality with a lower radiation dose and advanced comfort features, helping to ensure earlier detection and a more comfortable patient experience.
“We understand the anxiety breast imaging can cause. Our core focus is to ensure a private, comfortable, and reassuring experience for our patients,” Dr McMenamin said.
Breast MRI is now considered the most sensitive modality for breast cancer detection and is routinely used in high-risk screening.
Since July 2025, patients with a specialist referral who meet Medicare criteria can now access bulk-billed breast MRI scans at Noosa Radiology, increasing access to advanced imaging with no out-of-pocket expense. Consultations with breast imaging specialists are also available to tailor mammographic and/or MRI screening based on an individual’s risk profile and breast density. MRI also offers the benefit of no breast compression or radiation.
Noosa Radiology’s five breast imaging specialists check every image at the time of examination. If an abnormality is detected, additional imaging is performed during the same appointment, and when needed, a biopsy is carried out.
“Reducing the time to diagnosis is a key component in minimising anxiety associated with breast cancer. This aligns with our core values of patient-focused care,” Dr McMenamin said.
